JOSEPH HUTCHINSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHADE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Iietters Patent No. 522,596, dated July10,1894..

Application filed September '7, 1892. Serial No. 445,223. (No model.)

To whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HUTCHINSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city, in the county and State of New York, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shade-Holders,of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, simple and effectiveform of shadeholder.

The shade-holder which constitutes my invention is in its main featuresadapted for use both with incandescent electric lamps and withgas-burners, but certain details'of its construction are intended foruse with incandescent electric lamps and are especially adapted to thatpurpose.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a horizontal section of ashade-holder embodying my invention attach ed to an incandescentelectric lamp socket of a kind to which the particular form ofshade-holder shownis especially adapted. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of thesame shadeholder; and Fig. 3 illus-' trates a process which may beemployed of making the shade-holder.

In constructing a shade holder embodying my invention I prefer tospirally wind upon a mandrel A a wire B of brass or other suitablemetal, and I then cut through the spirals of the wire as indicated bythe dotted line a-a in Fig. 3, whereby I form a number of rings of wire,each with its ends meeting. Each of I these rings E forms the body of ashadeholder, and I attach to the ring separate armpieces which arepreferably made of fiat metal of the form shown," that is to say, beingbent so as to form a downwardly projecting lug b which receives theset-screw c to hold the shade, the inwardlyextending hooked arm d, for apurpose to be presently explained, and

a depressionor groove e in which the wire ring is laid and securedpreferably by solder. One of these arm-pieces is, as shown in Fig. 2,attached to the ring at the point i where its 4 ends meet, and thereforeserves to join the ends of the ring together into a complete circle.

0, Fig. 1, represents a socket for an incandescent electric lamp, thesocket being of that character in which there is an external metal shellmade in two parts D, D clamped to gether by screws f, f, which passthrough lugs on the two halves of the shell. Theshell D, D is providedat its lower end with a curved lip g, and this lip is engaged by thehooks h at the inner ends of the arm-pieces, so that upon the two halvesof the shell D being drawn together by the screws f, the shadeholder isthus clamped firmly in place upon the socket, which is in turn supportedupon the fixture, as will be well understood.

What I claim is 1. In a shade-holder, the combination of a ring of roundwire and separate arm-pieces of fiat metal secured thereto, each of saidarmpieces being formed as set forth, that is to say, having a partextending perpendicularly to the plane of the ring to receive the setscrew, an inwardly extending part for attach-' 'ment to a support, and agroove for the reception of the wire, substantially as set forth. 2. Ina shade holder the combination of a ring of wire having meeting ends,and arm pieces secured thereto, each consisting of a flat piece ofmetal, having a groove for the reception of the wire and extendinginwardly for attachment to a support, one of said arm pieces beingsecured to the ring at the point where the ends meet, substantially asset forth.

3. The combination with a shade-holder having inwardly extending armswith hooked ends, of a lamp socket provided with a'curved lip forengaging the said hooked ends, substantially as sot forth.
